Better? Possibly. Much Better? I don't think so. Sure, tabbed data is great for files that need to be easily human readable (everything lines up real purdy), but if the file only needs to be machine readable, then the delimiter is irrevant, as long as there is one and it doesn't appear anywhere in the data. As for the comma being used as a decimal deliniation in Europe - that's true, but I *think* that practise is slowly on the way out - anyone from over the ditch care to comment?
